Something that does help that pull is sending spell reflect on CD because the casters that do arcane explosion - can’t remember the name, their hits are magical

coarse bay
#

Arcanists i think

forest dragon
#

That’s the one

#

CPS not posting his routes/streaming is diabolical - CPS if you see this, posts VODs please

compact silo
#

how much should an average m+ dps be for prot?

compact silo
forest dragon
#

Magisters terrace also a high DPS dungeon and a fair few spell reflects

#

MC also high damage output, basically any dungeon with decent amount of mobs and decent amount of spell reflects that target the tank

compact silo
#

even always line up SC with demo and avatar

jagged pier
#

Thats wrong

#

U send it on cd

#

It doesnt line up with them always

forest dragon
#

If you’re playing colossus over MT, I’m not sure what your output should be, but I think you just send Demo on CD

#

I’ve been a filthy thunderclap enjoyer for too long

❤️ revenge

#

Ripped a 120k pit as Colo and pretty sure my revenge key was broken by the end lul

frosty mango

#

Depends on the comparison point, if you’re playing colossus you should be competitive on damage but still about 10% lower than Bear or Monk, if you’re playing MT you’ll be like 20-25% lower

heavy sparrow
#

Tomorrow is gonna be a good 30% damage increase though

frosty mango
#

It’s not a 30% increase

#

Prob like 3%?

forest dragon
#

It’s a 2.5% increase on ST and a 3.5% increase on AoE apparently

#

So like 3% overall sounds about right

heavy sparrow
#

I appreciate being corrected

#

WB roidberg

#

@forest dragon appreciate the % percentage

If Colossus deals more damage for you than Thane then something is fishy.

how to gather with colossus btw?

with MT just pop ava and tc instantly

#

with colossus sometimes you dont have rage for revenge

You can just say you’re bad at the game, it’s ok

#

I’m also bad at the game, but dismissing Archon is crazy work

frosty mango
#

and yes archon is incorrect

#

not gonna reexplain but if you search my tirade about dataset bias its all explained

jagged pier
#

whenu got to the build in archon

#

its 1 /4

#

maybe look at the aggragation

#

and whats its shouwing u

frosty mango
#

heres a 10 i did last week as colossus at 110k overall AND i played like shit

#

actually that was a month ago

#

that might have been before the colo buffs

stable kernel
#

did bro just call mwahi bad too? feelycraft

forest dragon
#

Am I missing something? Archon is a useful tool for indicative DPS? Is Mwahi top 10 prot wars in the world or something?

frosty mango
#

archon is a terrible tool for indicative dps

stable raft
#

Archon only shows the talents for the highest key done it’s which majority of the time is the Chinese and they play some wacky shit just use murloc.io it’ll show you the top 20 people there talents there gear and so on

frosty mango
#

all it does is aggregate logs based on average which is really just telling you the avg dps breakdown across all keys (not valuable data) and the aggregate talent at top keys (also not valuable data)

#

if you want to look at dps per spec then go to warcraft logs and write the pins to do it

forest dragon
#

Hmm, well ok then I’ll have a look - I don’t think we can just disregard the Chinese but I see your point

vital vale
# jagged pier whenu got to the build in archon

the wowhead recommended talent build for m+ guardian druid has 2 talents in it which do pretty much nothing for you, just basically dead talents. makes me really appreciate warrior writers actually being good

frosty mango
#

so you can't just look at archon and be like "oh warriors suck"

stable raft
#

Wow head is always fine at the start of a patch or expansion soon as any tuning changes or talents changes in my experience wow head just doesn’t change

frosty mango
#

if you go look at WCL and run actual, real comparisons of the data, warrior is not vastly behind in dps and hasnt been this season (other than when they omega buffed druids for a week)

stable raft
frosty mango
#

"optimal" haste isnt 1000, bunch of people will read this and go roll with ITF and 1000 haste then wonder why shield block is falling off and they're getting clapped

compact silo
#

no ravager, no punish

#

is this viable? xd

frosty mango
#

you can play with no talents and 1 finger and be viable

compact silo
#

doubt

frosty mango
#

most top end players are playing builds which are built to their own group

#

not relevant to other people

compact silo
#

try tanking any first pull without shield wall

stable raft
frosty mango
#

that is objectively incorrect

#

the data is presented incorrectly and leads people to draw incorrect conclusions

stable raft
#

What is aggregate??
Also having some sort of reference point on what the top 20 people are playing is always nice

frosty mango
#

We have this problem every single season, people copy random builds or use archon etc, then they come here and say "warrior dps stinks i only do 80k avg" when in reality, the problem is they stink not the class

#

sorry not sorry

frosty mango
#

and thats all fine except thats not how the game works, your talents and stats are specific to your group and your gear, so when you mash everything together you get results that don't reflect what is actually optimal for the majority of the playerbase

stable raft
#

Brother it’s not that deep it’s just another website that gives you some information, if you want to improve you’d check Warcraft logs and read logs but it’s always nice to have multiple sources.

frosty mango
#

so yeah

#

it is that deep

stable kernel
#

He is saying these websites wind up giving out slop information

#

and people follow said slop

#

then bitch here

#

cus they were led astray

frosty mango
#

id try no shield block but id die

we dont have talents in our pins

compact silo
#

tbh mt is probably one i dont find myself pressing SW lol

#

frosty mango
#

MC is all phys and its all stunnable

compact silo
#

cc falloff is a thing

frosty mango
#

seat would be really rough

stable raft
#

No but your discord is suggesting builds with no cheat

jagged pier
#

because 99% of players dont need it

#

and its nota cheat

#

it can save u from death

#

but a lot of the time it procs

#

u werent doing to die anyway

stable raft
#

So for 99% of players archon and wow head are also fine

frosty mango
#

so if they come here, why would we give them misleading or bad info?

stable kernel
#

I mean 99% of players stop dead at 10-12 cheat is pretty worthless there

#

well our version of “cheat”

stable raft
#

Personally when I’ve come to the discord you guys have been spot on but.

#

Is it ever worth to run both of these?

compact silo
#

idk if i felt it much

#

I think you guys have missed the point - sites like archon, raider io, murloc.io, wow logs etc all have a place and are helpful in their own way - but ultimately every class/spec is viable to +20s and the majority of meta specs are irrelevant to 99.9% of players - saying ‘archon is terrible’ and ‘you’re just bad’ is like the peak of unhelpful

ionic fern
#

No,we are not missing the point. As I stated above,you need to actually dig deeper into the aggregation sites and take additional information from elsewhere to actually get the proper information out of them.

#

Misreading the information aggregation sites provide is just leading to incorrect outcomes.

forest dragon
#

So you're saying aggregation sites are a helpful tool but shouldn't be taken as a single source of truth.. almost like they are a helpful tool in their own way

is hc riad chalenging this seaon? not sure if seeing a guide and trying it

Calling someone bad cuz he says archon is not a good source to soley base your statements on is

#

Dumb

#

@forest dragon you also can just copy the routes of CPS

forest dragon

my whole point was you shouldn't just be disregarding a tool out of hand, aggregation bias aside, it's not, not helpful lol

yea I really really want to love dwarf for a warrior but I somehow just end up not liking them a lot of the time when I'm actually in game, I find I often either wanna be bigger and bulkier to feel like a huge wall or I just don't like how stubby they look with certain armour or how their shields/weapons clip

kul tiran would be dope for alliance warriors if it wasn't for that horrible belly stretching all the plate armors

then they look like a juggernaught

If you want to play Col and aren't trolling your groups doing so, go for it

Yeah u can do that, just be careful with making such statements that smth feels more tanky

Colossus is the more fun spec though. By a huge mile. It's literally the warrior fantasy dream

Its basically the same as Nopex, either get logs to prove it or dont make bold statements

can someone define smth

I wish col worked a bit better with apex

It does good but its not even close to satisfying

real aspen
#

Main reason I don't like colo is its single target boss performance. I like it a lot on trash

naive ravine
#

Why doesnt our apex proc also work on Revenge casts?

toxic pewter
naive ravine
#

Like get the improved phalanx SS

undone beacon
#

The apex doesnt really synergize one way or another with either Hero Talent, its kind of just its own little part of the kit

toxic pewter
#

ah right

naive ravine
#

Corrected it 🫡

real aspen
#

The crit chance on shield slam is pretty nice for colo tho. But every other thing about the apex is wildly better for thane

ivory barn
#

And we didn't really even play around proccing it

undone beacon
#

Its basically an entirely passive part of the rotation that adds good damage and defense without any thought so like, it could be worse

#

It doesnt speed up or slow down prot at all or change our decision making

#

So, its chill

harsh trellis
#

I feel like colossus is a slower rotation

#

but when you have rage for IP you just send it whenever

#

instead of waiting around for 70

naive ravine
#

Yeah ofc it could be worse LOOKING AT YOU MISTWEAVER

harsh trellis
#

just keep Sblock up and hit IP whenever

#

hit revenge when it procs

undone beacon
naive ravine
#

Wtf did i just read

undone beacon
#

The proper usage of IP doesnt change between Thane and Col

undone beacon
#

In fact rage manegment is MORE important as Col because you tend to have less rage gen and a greater emphasis on Revenge

real aspen
#

Only thing that intrigued me about colo enough to try was Sprite running all the bleed talents (bloodborne) over Punish.

harsh trellis
naive ravine
#

The prio does not change but to me it feels like you have way less rage to spend on IP

#

Since you have so many free globals where you need to fish for SS procs

Col has less IPs overall but each IP is larger

#

Which is wild because Best Served Cold has more value for Col than it does for Thane, and Punish is just a good talent

real aspen
#

Punish is a great talent but it's a shame that it's behind Best Served Cold

#

I'd way rather take Instigate or Bloodborne over bsv. But punish is so good especially as thane

undone beacon
#

I just cant see Bloodborne being more damage overall than Punish, especially when you're on bosses

naive ravine
#

A big point I missed was that the % buff to revenge is not bound to the stacks of colossal might (with the choice note)

real aspen
#

That isn't the 1 to 1. It's 2 talent points that are being swapped

naive ravine
#

And the bleed buff is only when stack of colossal might are there

#

Big downturner for me

#

Also deepwounds fucking suck ass

undone beacon
real aspen
#

I think he does the swap for more leech on trash or something idk. Cuz bleed damage leeches the most. Idk how relevant the healing is tho hard to tell when we have to be healed

More rage and healing on trash*

Huh why would leech be better on bleeds?

Cuz of no uptime needed?

real aspen
harsh trellis
real aspen

#

Like I could see dropping either Armor Spec or FTTF depending on the damage profile of the key to take Bloodsurge as Col, but 25% extra bleed damage on rend is... not super super impactful when you could be stacking DRs on prio targets and dishing out bigger revenges

undone beacon
#

Pedantic syntactical musing aside, I just can't see the extra 25% rend damage mattering even when thinking about FBV value. We also dont even get deep wounds ever these days which is what it is. It seems to be working for the one guy which is great, but at his level what matters more is the way he and his team execute the dungeon moreso than the specific points they're running. Maybe they're feelycrafting the vibe of more bleed healing, maybe they talked to their healer and wanted more sustain, whatever it is its interesting to rationalize but also we're not gonna recommend people do it okayge

Typically on reclears people are much cleaner and more geared so theres less healing that needs to be done. With four healers and not much healing to do, nobody gets to heal parse (kek) and they kinda just stand there trying to snipe eachother's heals

You can’t block at all during the cast

but also, this late into the season, the focus should be on maxxing your toon first

then starting the push

since we are at what, 12 bonus rolls? uncapped crests? 5+ crafts?

makes sense

plush tendon

you can legit deck a new toon out in mostly 285/289 loot

undone beacon

This week there’s 12? Rerolls available or so. You can clear out the loot pool of an entire dungeon and get tons of myth gear

#

Then craft in what you’re missing and you’re set aside from crest grinding

plush tendon

yea, but if you are fully fresh with no geared toons

the crest grind is quite daunting

we talking what, 960-1000 crests?

undone beacon

More even

100 crests to get a slot from myth 1/6 to 6/6

And there’s 14? 15 slots?

There are swaps you can make per dungeon

there are some things you can swap from key to key

The typical swaps are Armor Spec for FTTF, Bloodsurge for BSV, and EA for Indom (though that one is contentious)

not running BSV in like a 19 though? i guess somedungeons you can get away with it

If you're confident in your ability to not die you can drop BSV but most people run it because its good

it is good

Pwarr doesnt do a lot of swaps from dungeon to dungeon on either tree. Theres the few i mentioned on the spec tree, and on class tree its things like dropping Crackling Thunder when running Seat, or speccing Piercing Howl over Intim Shout to help in Skyreach

Otherwise its pretty consistent

# stable raft are you guys mainly ITF enjoyers or HR

ITF is superior rage gain and dps, so the goal all expansions are to find a healthy level where we can individually manage SB with it, while my pinned message posts minimum requirements for the swap, its not something you wanna hard swap to if youre not comfortable

#

every s1, we determine this swap amount, but its up to you to decide if you can handle it at that point or not
